hey guys i am putting a high mount gt35r turbo on my stagea and am having troubles with manifolds not fitting . i now have a 6boost manifold and it fits the engine but the turbo hits on the rocker cover badly . also there is no room for a dump pipe to fit between the manifold and fire wall.

i am running out of ideas this is the second manifold i have bought as the first was my own fault and bought off e bay . has any one else come accross this problem before .please help . manny thanks in advance bernard .

I have a 6boost RB25 mani and ive dummied it up with a GT35 and everything sat very nicely.

Im not aware of any differences between the stagea 25 and the R33 one so il be interested to see this

Post up some pics.

thats funny it looks dodgy as...cough ebay?... gotta ask what size rear housing have you got on the turbo? Im sure with the "genuine" 6boost one, kyle should be able to help you out atleast... if you talk to him and explain whats happening

i have noy got pics of the 6boost one yet as my camera been playing up i bought the 6boost one second hand it has no markings on it but the guy has told me that is what it was .i was in desperate need so i bought it . where could i get a new 6boost one from.

Why not look at going custom? At least you know it will fit comfy and work then... Assuming nothing else fits. But if you keep buying and selling manifolds that dont fit, your going to do your dough.

just do the dodgey, take it down to an exhaust shop and get them to refit the flange on the manifold so the turbo can fit on. probly the cheap and easy way out i think

Kyle spends a lot of time on the collector, filing, smoothing etc, it might be tricky getting a XYZ exhaust shop to modify it. I would 100% call Kyle and talk about your options.

hey guys i scrappedthat manifold and bought a xforce one every thing bolts up fine now wish i could find the guy that sold me that so called second hand 6boost one on boost cruisin and i would shove it up his arse. as every one on here says 6boost are neat this one is not that neat so i am thinking i got had . and he sold me some cheap shit one does the 6boost one have any markings on it to identify it . well if any one needs scrap stainless now i your man ha ha i have 3 good rb25 flanges now as i am going to scrap the rest of the manifold s or if any one wants one to modify will gladly send at your cost. cheers thanks for your help guys and girlys.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
